Grand old Haydn, sick aud worn out

CARRIED FOR THE LAST TIME
into the music hall aud there he heard his
own oraturIo of the "Crratiun." History

Christians, and when they fight they fight
on the right side Now when these, our
Christian friends who hid natural aud
powerful military spirit, entered Heaven,
they entered the Celestial army.
